OLD LYME, CONNECTICUT: Jeff Alexander has been promoted to the position of
vice president sales, professional products for Sennheiser U.S.A. A six-year
veteran on his second period of employment with Sennheiser Electronics
Corporation, Alexander will retain his responsibilities, that of
director-Neumann and distributed brands, in addition to the new position,
which is effective immediately. Alexander’s first tenure with SEC began in
1991 as brand manager and then as national sales manager for Neumann. After
a short hiatus with Crest, Jeff returned to Sennheiser in 1999 to manage all
third party brands.
In 2001, Alexander was promoted to director-Neumann and distributed brands
and has helped SEC move toward its objective of being a one-stop solutions
provider, enhancing the company’s overall growth by securing distribution
rights to a wide variety of complimentary brands, while also successfully
managing the growth of the Sennheiser-owned Neumann brand. Those now
reporting directly to Alexander include, Dawn Birr (Neumann), Paul Giansante
(Turbosound), and Robb Blumenreder (HHB, InnovaSON, Australian Monitor), as
well as the professional products sales team of Mark Humrichouser (pro
sales-northeast), Richard Renner (pro sales-south central), and Lee Stein (pro
sales-west).
Through his work with SEC’s internal team, an ever-growing group of external
suppliers, and the company’s customers, Alexander has managed a four-fold
growth in revenue over the last six years. During that period, he has also
proven to be highly effective at coaching and developing his team.
Taken together, Alexander’s achievements and his commitment to excellence
and total customer satisfaction make for a more diverse and dynamic
organization, while also supporting SEC’s “3-D Vision” to delight our
stakeholders, demand excellence and deliver results.
Enthused about his new position, Alexander commented, “Sennheiser is a
company that’s energized and on the move. My new sales responsibilities fit
perfectly with my psyche. With the new opportunity of promoting the concept
of Sennheiser as the leading, pro audio, one-source solution provider and
moving more product then ever before, I’m also very thankful to work with
the outstanding Sennheiser team that truly makes this company so great.”
Noted John Falcone, president and CEO of Sennheiser Electronic Corporation,
“I have been privileged to work with Jeff over the past six years, watching
as he helped develop our business, and as he developed as a leader. I have
seen first hand his commitment to moving Sennheiser into an industry leading
solution provider for all our customers, coupled with his commitment to
serving our customers no matter how challenging the situation might be. When
the position of vice president of sales opened, many of our customers called
to lobby on behalf of Jeff. Thus, with my personal observations, supported
strongly by both our customer base and our vendor partners that he’s
interfaced with, promoting Jeff was clearly the right choice – a choice that
I am confident will benefit Sennheiser for years to come.”
Established in 1945 in Wedemark, Germany, Sennheiser is the acknowledged
world leader in microphone technology, RF-wireless and infrared sound
transmission, headphone transducer technology, and most recently, in the
development of active noise-cancellation. Sennheiser Electronic Corporation
is the U.S. wholly-owned subsidiary, with headquarters in Old Lyme,
Connecticut.
